To be honest too little too late...Shenzen has kind of caught up for a tenth of the price.

Should have done this 5 years ago Cherry!

It looks like an updated version of Cherry MY, now with support for snapping into a top plate (for floating keys) and backlighting. But most of all, the force curve is not nearly as steep -- which had been its worst flaw, giving it widely disliked key feel despite being stable and smooth.
